You are not alone with this problem > http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=21461
For me I see only 2 ways.
1 > a script to kill explorer.exe and reload it after mGalaxy exit.
2 > a script with a delay before launching mGalaxy.

will check tomorrow if there are other programs running. I have stopped most services. For now I have put regedit back, and mgalaxy is in the startup map.

Have you some other applications launched after mGalaxy (they can be launched before but take more time to effectly run)?
If yes It s normal, on windows the last application take the focus (exept if this one is made to run on background like antivirus).

First, great frontend!

I am making a cabinet, and still in the build fase. I am setting up a pc and I have the following problem.
Windows Xp pro, usb keyboard.
I have added mgalaxy in the regedit as the shell to start on startup, which it does.
Only problem is, that it doesn't accept any input. ctrl-alt-delete does work, and if i switch between taskmanager back to mgalaxy it accepts keyboard input.

Any idea's? Workaround is to put mgalaxy in th startup map, but i like the clean startup through the shell.
